Definitions
- This invention is directed to a photodegradable cellulose ester tow.
- Cellulose ester tow is known. Kirk-Othmer, Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, 4th Edition, Vol. 5, John Wiley & Sons, New York, N.Y., 1993, p. 496-529. Cellulose acetate tow is known. Kirk-Othmer, Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, 3rd Edition, Vol. 5, John Wiley & Sons, New York, N.Y., 1979, p. 89-117. Cellulose acetate tow impregnated with titanium dioxide pigments, either anatase or rutile, as a delustrant is known. See: Kirk-Othmer, Ibid, 3rd Edition, p. 90; and U.S. Pat. No. 4,022,632.
- the ideal delustering titanium dioxide pigment has a particle size ranging from 200 to 350 nm (0.2 to 0.35 microns). See: Undated publication of Kemira, Inc. entitled “The Savannah Story”. These pigments are typically coated to retard their photocatalytic effect. Rabek, J. F., Mechanisms of Photophysical Processes and Photochemical Reactions in Polymers, John Wiley & Sons, New York City, N.Y., 1987, p. 585-587.
- anatase-type titanium dioxides can be used to accelerate the photodegradation of cellulose ester tows. See: EPO Publication No. 597,478; WO 93/24685; and U.S. Pat. No. 5,242,880. These photodegradable cellulose ester tows utilize uncoated anatases. Ibid. As a photodegradability accelerator, anatase-type titanium dioxide is better than rutile-type titanium dioxide. In EPO Publication No.
- the cellulose ester tow has about 0-5% by weight of an anatase-type titanium dioxide having an average particle diameter of about 300 nm (0.3 microns), a particle size distribution of 10-1000 nm (0.01-1 micron), and specific surface area of 3 to 30 m 2 /g.
- the average particle size is given by reference to the exemplary photoactive anatase titanium dioxides set forth in Table 1 at page 48. Therein, three commercially available pigments are disclosed. Each is believed to have an average particle size of about 350 nm (0.35 microns).
- an oxidizable polymer such as cellulose acetate or polypropylene
- a photoactive catalyst to increase biodegradability.
- the photoactive catalyst comprises an anatase-type titanium dioxide containing or coated with a salt.
- the salt comprises between 2-30 weight percent of the catalyst.
- Fine particle, crystalline titanium dioxides (8-210 nm or 0.008-0.210 micron) are known for use as photodegradants in plastics. See: Meldrum, B. J., "Fine Particle TiO 2 --A Brief Introduction", SPE 49th Annual Technical Conference Exhibits, 1991. Therein, uncoated, fine particles of titanium dioxide are loaded into polypropylene film which is then exposed to ultraviolet radiation, so to demonstrate the photodegradation effect.
- the present invention is directed to a man-made fiber comprising a cellulose ester and 0.05 to 5.0% by weight of a titanium dioxide having an average particle size of less than 100 nanometers (nm) .
- the invention is a man-made fiber comprising a cellulose ester and 0.05 to 5.0% by weight of a titanium dioxide having an average particle size of less than 100 nanometers.
- a cellulose ester is a cellulose acetate, having a degree of substitution of 1.5 to 2.7
- the preferred weight range of titanium dioxide is 0.1 to 3.0%.
- These man-made fibers are adapted to photodegrade. Cellulose acetate fibers, having a degree of substitution 1.5 to 2.7, will substantially degrade in 300 hours or less.
- the basis for measuring "substantial degradation" is AATCC TEST METHOD 169-1990 as discussed in greater detail below.
- substantial degradation refers to a tenacity of less than or equal to 0.2 grams/denier at 200 hours.
- Cellulose ester refers to organic esters. Examples of such esters include: cellulose acetate; cellulose propionate; cellulose butyrate; cellulose acetate propionate; cellulose acetate butyrate; cellulose propionate butyrate; and the like; and combinations thereof.
- the cellulose esters useful in the present invention can be prepared by any known technique. See: Kirk-Othmer, Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, 3rd Edition, Vol. 5, John Wiley & Sons, New York, N.Y., 1979, p. 89-129; and Libscomb, A. G., Cellulose Acetate: Its Manufacture and Applications, Ernest Benn, Ltd. London, GB, 1933, both are incorporated herein by reference.
- the cellulose esters of the present invention preferably have at least 2 anhydroglucose rings and most preferably have about 2 and 5,000 anhydroglucose rings.
- such polymers typically have an inherent viscosity (IV) of about 0.2 to about 3.0 deciliters per gram, most preferably about 1 to 1.6, as measured at a temperature of 25° C. from a 0.5 gram sample and 100 ml of a 60/40 by weight solution of phenol/tetrachloroethane.
- IV inherent viscosity
- the DS/AGU (degree of substitution per anhydroglycose unit) of the cellulose esters useful herein ranges from about 1.5 to about 2.7.
- Cellulose acetates having a DS/AGU of 1.7 to 2.6 are especially preferred.
- the most preferred cellulose acetate has a DS/AGU of 1.8 to 2.2 and an IV of 1.3 to 1.5.
- any known, conventional additives to cellulose ester tow maybe incorporated into the inventive tows set forth herein.
- delustrants e.g., titanium dioxide
- spin finishes may be added, as is well known.
- Titanium dioxide refers to any titanium dioxide material having an average particle size less than 100 nanometers. These titanium dioxides may also have a specific surface area of greater than 50 m 2 /g. Materials of this type are commercially available from: Sachtleben Chemie GmbH, Duisburg, Germany under the trade name "HOMBIFINE N”; Kemira Group, Pori, Finland under the tradename "UV-Titan”; Ishihara Corporation, San Francisco, Calif., U.S.A. under the tradename TIPAQUE® titanium dioxide TTO-55 and TTO-51 Series; Tioxide Chemicals Ltd., Billingham, Cleveland, Great Britain under the trade designation of "UF”.
- the titanium dioxide is an uncoated anatase material having an average particle size less 10 nanometers and a specific surface are of about 250 m 2 /g.
- Uncoated refers to the absence of the coatings of inorganic materials used to retard the photocatalytic effect of many commercial titanium dioxides. See: Rabek, J., Ibid., p. 257-259, incorporated herein by reference.
- Such inorganic coatings include, without limit: alumina, silica, zinc oxide, manganese acetate, silver acetate, thallium acetate, gallium acetate, ferric acetate, lead acetate, rubidium acetate, strontium acetate, aluminum acetate, lanthanum acetate, zirconium acetate, uranyl acetate, potassium acetate, samarium acetate, praseodymium acetate, niobium acetate, neodymium acetate, cupric acetate, magnesium acetate, barium acetate, yttrium acetate, sodium acetate, lithium acetate, chromic acetate, stannous acetate, didymium acetate, nikelous acetate, calcium acetate, cerous acetate, zinc acetate, cobaltous acetate, and manganous acetate.
- the titanium dioxide is added to the "dope" (i.e., the solvated cellulose ester) prior to extrusion into the tow. Addition of the titanium dioxide may be at any convenient point prior to extrusion. No special preparation of the titanium dioxide is required, except that one should insure that agglomeration of the fine particles is minimized or reduced so that the photoactivity provided by the fine particles is maximized. Extrusion of the tow maybe accomplished, as is well known, in any conventional manner. See: Browne, C. L., The Design of Cigarettes, Hoechst Celanese Corporation, Charlotte, N.C., 1990, p. 59-64, incorporated herein by reference.
- Cigarette refers to any commonly known cigarette comprising a tobacco column and a filter as those terms are commonly used in the industry. See: Browne, C. L., The Design of Cigarettes, Hoechst Celanese Corporation, Charlotte, N.C., 1990, incorporated herein by reference.
- the yarns are evaluated according to the procedures of the American Association of Textile Chemist and Colorists (AATCC).
- AATCC Test Method 169-1990 "Weather Resistance of Textiles: Xenon Lamp Exposure", Option 1 is used.
- Yarns are prepared for evaluation according to AATCC Test Method 177-1993 "Colorfastness to Light at Elevated Temperature and Humidity: Water Cooled Xenon Lamp Apparatus".
- the yarns are wrapped around a paper card and placed in a metal holder.
- Theholder with the yarn is placed in an Atlas model C65 WeatherOmeter and subjected to alternating conditions of Xenon light exposure and water spray.
- Conditions (option 1) have been predetermined to equate to environmental conditions of South Florida.
- yarns are removed, conditioned to ambient conditions and then breaking strength is measured.
- Kemira 0-310 pigment grade Ti02 (anatase) with a median diameter of 420 nm.
